Canadian David Chan has created a rather cool and funny Twitter tool called SayTweet. It allows Twitter users to combine photos with Twitter updates. Just upload a canvas (picture) and point out which users are on it. TweetSay will then generate a picture with text bubbles consisting of the latest Tweets.
This makes TweetSay a fun tool to create unique pictures for your blog or social network profile. For example, I twittered at Picnic last Friday about how Amazon CTO presented Dutch start-ups Soocial and Project E on stage. If I combine it with a picture from Project E’s co-founder Renato Valdés Olmos on stage, you’ll get the following result:
Though it’s a fun Twitter badge, I’m not sure whether people will come back to TweetSay often. This would change if Chan also offered a feature that makes it possible to combine pictures with a specific tweet. Users could then combine a picture of a person with a tweet he was actually posting around the very moment the picture was taken.
Thanks for writing about SayTweet. I think your idea is a very good one and I’ll definately look into it.
It could be pretty neat, but now it seems lame and not useful. If I upload a picture to flickr it also contains data about the time the picture was taken. Combine the time (slot) with tweets about a certain topic.
In this case Saytweet should recognize the time the picture was made, I would say grab tweets with #picnic and @werner or something like this.
Let us know when you launch it!
